It use to be real easy in older versions but it seems like it has been removed as an option unless it is manually typed in the footer.

From doing some research, you are not the only person with that complaint about renaming in Vista. I couldn't find a fix, and it looks like most users go to a third-party batch renaming software to solve the problem. PCWorld.com or cnet.com would have some freeware, plus reviews of the software. If you find a solution Richard, please share it by leaving another comment. Hi Richard – I don’t have Vista, so didn’t directly test this post.

I have mixed extension home-photos and videos and it renames them OK, but they lose the order that I have put them in. It might be because they have different extension mixed together, but this does not "always" affect the order. In XP, I used example: name- (1). that is name, a minus sign, a space, (, then any number I want to start with, then a ), and hit enter. What formula works in Vista? Thanking you in advance for any help. I have tried this method in Vista, but it doesn’t work.
